Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says Russian aircraft flying into Syria are delivering military supplies and humanitarian aid — but he shed no light on what the U.S. and NATO worry is a Russian military buildup at a Syrian airfield.

Russia has backed Syrian President Bashar Assad throughout the country's 4 ½-year civil war, providing weapons and military experts to train Syria's military.
